Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Denial mask
I spend my waking hours
In search of a forgotten face
My thoughts are clouded
My reflection covered
By the denial mask again
Confusion reigns
I've fooled myself
I can't keep up this facade
The death bird is circling
Waiting for that final lapse in judgement
Fly away you foul smelling
Maggot of the stratosphere
Carrion some other place
I've smashed my face
Into the wall for the last time
Cracked shards of the denial mask
Have fallen
I see your motives all too well
In search of a forgotten face
My thoughts are clouded
My reflection covered
By the denial mask again
Confusion reigns
I've fooled myself
I can't keep up this facade
The death bird is circling
Waiting for that final lapse in judgement
Fly away you foul smelling
Maggot of the stratosphere
Carrion some other place
I've smashed my face
Into the wall for the last time
Cracked shards of the denial mask
Have fallen
I see your motives all too well

Needs
It isn't enough,
yet we settle.
Necessity?
Or?
yet we settle.
Necessity?

Every
Every day
Every day is a brutal battle
Every day is a brutal battle between love and hate
Everyone
Everyone judges without knowing
Everyone judges without knowing a person's story
Every time
Every time I'm battling myself
Every time I'm battling myself with self sabotage
Everything
Everything isn't easily fixed
Everything isn't easily fixed as many believe
Everywhere
Everywhere surrounded by triggers
Everywhere surrounded by triggering causing a battle
Every day is a brutal battle
Every day is a brutal battle between love and hate
Everyone
Everyone judges without knowing
Everyone judges without knowing a person's story
Every time
Every time I'm battling myself
Every time I'm battling myself with self sabotage
Everything
Everything isn't easily fixed
Everything isn't easily fixed as many believe
Everywhere
Everywhere surrounded by triggers
Everywhere surrounded by triggering causing a battle

Untitled........
I put my pen to the paper
in attempts to paint a perfect picture,
to project the presence
of that eternal essence
within..
but the flow occasionally slows
and shows no signs as to
when it may pick back up again,
perhaps my mind is backed up
and I'm still stuck..
digging myself deeper
with these despairing thoughts..
buried alive
in the dark
I'm caught
and desperately want out..
Can't always manage my madness
or the damaging doubt
mounting drastically,
winding me down..
driving me wild.....

"Never giving but always taking"
What is left for me?
I give and I give.
You need a hand, I hold mine out to you.
You need someone to listen I sit in silence as you vent about your life.
You need to hear a voice so I sit and talk you through your anxious thoughts.
You need someone to show your passionate pieces of art to I am there and complimenting all the hard work you put in.
You need the truth I am there and never lie.
You need someone to dry your eyes I am there with my shoulder while you cry.
Now that I'm at a low you just look...
I give and I give.
You need a hand, I hold mine out to you.
You need someone to listen I sit in silence as you vent about your life.
You need to hear a voice so I sit and talk you through your anxious thoughts.
You need someone to show your passionate pieces of art to I am there and complimenting all the hard work you put in.
You need the truth I am there and never lie.
You need someone to dry your eyes I am there with my shoulder while you cry.
Now that I'm at a low you just look...

"What am I filling my lungs with?"
For years I've given you everything, so what have I been filling my lungs with if I've been giving you all my oxygen?
I've been giving you all my light just to make sure you never have to know what it's like to live in darkness.
I've been giving you all my light just to make sure you never have to know what it's like to live in darkness.

Grey Ghost
They are burning up their Christmas trees
To get rid of their painful memories
And from the sparks of their old fasting fires
Complications burns up upon it's own spires
And now our lives have hit a dead end
I need a love now that can truly mend
In the evening of what we want to be
Has yet to arrive and set us free
"It'll get better" is what they'd always say
From the mouths of those who have their way
I could've showed them
I could've told them
Life don't always get that way
Now I am resting at the top of my...

A Cluster of Bodies and Bad Metaphors
You in my stride
Hand in hand
Through a forest
Of hanging bodies
We've chosen to ignore
And whom are we to blame?
They muddy the sunlight
But I've not seen the sun
In a year or so it seems
How would I explain
The generations?
It seems to me people
Become less ignorant
Yet exceedingly stupid
With the passing of time
I can't distinguish
Sincerity from sarcasm
Even when I converse
With the mirror
As if that isn't problematic
No matter how it's romanticized ...

Walls
I hear voices around me
Their anger and hate surround me
At times it seems they control me
They force their way in so slowly
Sometimes they seem to make sense
They say to cause pain and relieve my stress
If you really listen these walls talk
I can hear them wherever I walk
Everyday they grow louder and speak more truth
With every word it seems I have less to lose
If you can't hear you'd think me insane
But I alone have seen their pain
If you look real close you can see how deep
From the cracks in the walls you can see them...
Their anger and hate surround me
At times it seems they control me
They force their way in so slowly
Sometimes they seem to make sense
They say to cause pain and relieve my stress
If you really listen these walls talk
I can hear them wherever I walk
Everyday they grow louder and speak more truth
With every word it seems I have less to lose
If you can't hear you'd think me insane
But I alone have seen their pain
If you look real close you can see how deep
From the cracks in the walls you can see them...

My Ugly Soul
The dry spell of emotions
Arid senses
Pleading for moisture
That might release
Parched thoughts
Been a slow descent
Brain scraped constantly
Allowing more pain
To fester inside
What's a little insanity
The leakage
A small drip
Normal thoughts fighting
To jump broken wires
Intermittent sparks
Just a car wreck
Never discovered
Chasis warped
But limping on
Without repair
Cut the mask
Reveal my ugly
Scarred soul
Broken down
Heart ...
Arid senses
Pleading for moisture
That might release
Parched thoughts
Been a slow descent
Brain scraped constantly
Allowing more pain
To fester inside
What's a little insanity
The leakage
A small drip
Normal thoughts fighting
To jump broken wires
Intermittent sparks
Just a car wreck
Never discovered
Chasis warped
But limping on
Without repair
Cut the mask
Reveal my ugly
Scarred soul
Broken down
Heart ...

Lost in a maze
My thoughts are an extensive world
The skies are dark
Clouds and fog hide
The lustrous beauty of the moon
Stars show a brief glimmer of hope
Through a silent break in the
Blanket covering the Wildwood
Where is my reprieve
From this eternal night?
I'm lost in a maze
With no boundaries
Everything is silent
No voices to guide me
All alone with no way home
Help
The skies are dark
Clouds and fog hide
The lustrous beauty of the moon
Stars show a brief glimmer of hope
Through a silent break in the
Blanket covering the Wildwood
Where is my reprieve
From this eternal night?
I'm lost in a maze
With no boundaries
Everything is silent
No voices to guide me
All alone with no way home
Help

"Left with nothing"
They say just let it go,
But they don't know;
Its more then just demons in my head
it's going to take more than a laullaby to put them to bed.
I close my eyes and try to calm down my racing heart,
I no longer hear the laullaby just the demons screams tearing me apart.
I try to find peace but verytime I try to sing,
The demons start to scream again making my ears ring.
But they don't know;
Its more then just demons in my head
it's going to take more than a laullaby to put them to bed.
I close my eyes and try to calm down my racing heart,
I no longer hear the laullaby just the demons screams tearing me apart.
I try to find peace but verytime I try to sing,
The demons start to scream again making my ears ring.
